Noufas · 3 Jun 2008 at 01:51

can someone post some antialiasing comparison shots from a recent game? i am not interested in fps, just quality please! (from 2aa till highest if possible)

what do you mean by recent oblivion (with a few mods) ok?

benjo · 3 Jun 2008 at 04:45

Just did these in CSS

No AA

2x AA

8x AA

16x AA

Zip · 3 Jun 2008 at 06:33

There is really **** all difference between 8x and 16x AA from the look of benjos pictures.

And pretty much no difference between no AA and 2x AA.

Could be different in other games though

I would actually say the biggest step is from 0xAA to 2xAA

Id say there is a marked difference between 8 and 16, the snow in the background on the roofs looks a bit smoother at 16 than 8. Also for some reason the icicles look longer at 8 than 16, no idea why that might be.

I would guess CSS, as his post states?

And there are improvements all the way along, albeit small.

Now that ive looked again it can see the difference between 0 and x2.

But it seems mainly with things in the distance. The gun doesnt change at all really

Its the things in the distance that need AA most.

Well the tree shows the aa much easier.

Noufas · 3 Jun 2008 at 14:49

thanks for the shots thats great
i asked them because someone was telling me that "2aa is so much different than 4aa that it hurts my eyes" and of course i called bs...

Can't post screenshots as I'm at work but generally speaking I don't notice a difference between 8x and 16x AA in most games. I'll quite happily play at 4x or 2x and not notice/care about the difference so long as the resolution is high enough.

Will try and post something later on.

the fact that you have to flick back and forth between the 8x and 16x shots just to see that the 'icicles look longer at 8 than 16' means there's bugger all in it.

crysis is a pretty good game at shocking the difference between AA and no-AA since theres so much foliage

benjo · 3 Jun 2008 at 16:31

Well i just tried Crysis for a comparison, was hard to get a decent place to take the screenshots. Settings are at Very High DX10 with a custom config:

0 AA

2x AA

4x AA

8x AA

Can't really see the difference in the screenshots, but my FPS dropped to about 8 for 8x

Edit: Think i might have got the order mixed up, 0x AA looks better than 8x :S

Can you not see the middle-left telephone cables?
There's actually more of a difference between 8 and 16 than I thought!

james.miller · 3 Jun 2008 at 16:49

of course i can. would you have noticed it when playing the game unless you stopped to look at the telephone cables?
